Mayor pro tem Cavecche requested clarification that Transystems Corporation is being
hired for the specific purpose of creating a comprehensive document detailing design
standards.
Interim Community Services Director, Bonnie Hagan explained that of the six companies
submitting an RFP, Transystems had the most experience in construction management/
project management and are most qualified to develop park standards to enable the City
to put together better bid specifications, and understand design elements for creating
parks and renovation. She responded to Council questions that the RFP was designed to
provide a pool of vendors to be available on-call for assistance to staff to
complete projects or provide expertise in various areas. She added that it was expected that
the work would fall under the $30,000 cap not requiring Council
approval.City Manager, John Sibley responded that this practice is not atypical for contracts,
but that in the areas of public works, engineering and planning, this practice is allowed
for assistance with work
load.Mayor Murphy stated his opinion that this is the right way to handle this, minimizing
the time and effort needed to write, evaluate and award bids for smaller projects; however,

of
expertise.MOTION - Ambriz

of the Santa Fe Depot Specific Plan to develop a specific plan that will reflect the
changes that have occurred since its initial adoption and that will have relevant land use and
design policies which will support transit oriented and economic development activities and promote
a vibrant pedestrian-oriented environment. The proposed project involves a comprehensive
update of the City's 1993 Santa Fe Depot Specific Plan (Phase 1) and preparation of
an environmental impact report for the update (Phase 2). The subject agreement pertains to the
work associated with Phase 1 which is being funded primarily by the Caltrans Community Based

funded through a separate grant program administered by the Orange County Council of
Governments. These funds have not yet been released to the City. Therefore, the contract for

Discussion
Principal Planner, Anna Pehoushek responded to a question from Councilmember Smith
regarding unforeseen additional work not detailed in the scope of the contract. She indicated that
a 5% contingency has been built into the contract to cover this possibility.
Councilmember Smith asked about the relation of the Santa Fe Depot Specific Plan to the
Chapman University Specific Plan since they overlay one another.
Community Development Director, Alice Angus responded that the two plans would be worked
in concert with one another.
Councilmember Smith stated the Depot itself, to Atchison and the property east of the railroad
tracks is in the National Historic Register. She stated for the record, that the Santa Fe Depot is
in the heart of this National Historic Register; that the plan needs to address that it is an
appropriate development in an Historic District to examine the impacts both positive and
negative and work to enhance the Historic District, not act as a deterrent. She stated that this
would justify the large expenditure of money on the plan. She stated that transit areas and train
stations can destroy a neighborhood, but with proper planning and attention to historic
landscaping and design, this would not be the case. She requested that future documents
reference the National Register of Historic Districts and the Plaza Historic District which is also
on the National Register.
